So Why Are Some Getting Ready to Throw in the Towel?
Please put that ‘miserable mindset’ behind you, once and for all.
Good morning!
Let’s all examine our hearts today. Some thoughts we don’t need to ever entertain, such as ‘quitting’.
Are we getting weary of wanting to serve God? Are we getting ready to throw in the towel?
Quit? Do we dare? Absolutely not!
Where are we going to turn? What did Apostle Peter say?
“Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” John 6:68
I have saw some of the strongest Christians fall and it has just about broke my heart to be honest.
They just need to be restored, but for now they are not listening to us.
So if we are not careful their fall could shipwreck us.
That let’s me know sometimes our eyes are fastened on mankind too much.
Don’t follow anyone unless they are still following Christ. Paul could say it as he was walking the walk and talking the talk.
“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1
Keep in mind also, except for the grace of God, there go you and I.
Just how we going to help them if we get discouraged and throw in the towel with them?
Just what has God done wrong to them or us ever? Absolutely nothing!
Why do we tend to blame God when the going gets rough?
These are deep questions that need answers. Bottom line: “God is Good all the time, and all the time He is God!”
We have heard this quote and cliche before, but I have found it is so true in my own life.
We all know but must remember when Adam and Eve fell, it brought the sin nature in.
God gets blamed for a lot of things that the enemy has done, and sometimes our own bad choices has created the chaos.
Some of the worse case scenarios of pain, loss and tragedy, we can all attest to!
It just should never be about what we have been through. Somehow we finally need to get past that!
Just quit making it about ‘me’!
We must believe a All seeing God cares. When we see Jesus on the bloody Cross willingly taking our place and giving it all, we know!!
Some helpful scriptures to ponder is about avoiding a bitter root below.
Let it go, the person or persons who hurt you.
Forgive them and your ourselves also. You will find your freedom then.
“Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.” Hebrews 12:15-17
Written in love to hopefully help someone about to quit today.
God bless you all.

Hi Joyce. Truly so many have become weary in the battle. That is a good message of warning to be on our guard against discouragement. It is so important for us to take a day of Shabbat rest and just have that quiet day away from the hustle and bustle of life. Quitting and being refreshed is key to not allowing ourselves to be overtaken by the cares of this life. It can all be overwhelming if we do not come running to our Father to supply our need. Blessings to you. He is faithful who will also do the work in us. Patricia ❤️
Thank you for the important point you brought out, Patricia. The day of Shabbat rest is most key. There was more I started to add along those lines but didn’t yet. I feel this maybe was a part 1, not sure yet?
The thing I see, often times Christians often get weary and pull aside in ‘general’ and often stay pulled out! That is dangerous.
We need that refreshing, and have to have it, but must step back into the battle, for surely it is the Lords.
God bless and thank you for your comment. ❤️
Dear Joyce,
That is so good. We must get back into the battle. There is that tendency to want to pull away, run and hide, especially when issues have had us aside on occasion to start. Getting back into the ring is key for sure. Love to read your writing and look forward to more. Blessings, Patricia ❤️
Thank you again Patricia. Blessings of the Lord over you~
Shalom, Shalom, good message. I love your message and you always back it up with the word which I love. I think the scripture for Hebrew 12:15-1 should be Hebrew 12:15-17. May the Most High continue to pour blessings on you and family.
Thank you so much Reber. I appreciate your comments. May God bless you more and more.
Yes.Amen.
Yes.Amen.
Let it go, the person or persons who hurt you.
Forgive them and your ourselves also. You will find your freedom then.
Choose the love and healing of Jesus Christ because you are our peace and freedom.
Amen, Wong. Thank you for coming by. Sweet blessings on your day.
